So, who's in for a Friday afternoon/evening bbq? I'll find out today from Ken M. whether or not propane bbq's are allowed on site.

Also, another interesting entry today...class is now up to 11, with lots of National champs and Pro veterans. I think it will be tougher than the Tour

 

SD Pro? I guess you will win, you will be the only one in SD. The rest of us will be at El Toro.

 

DOH!!!



Time to edit...

 

I am 99% sure Anna will change to L1 with the rest of the girls so that will leave us with 10.

I might be up for something on Fri, depends on if Jennifer has to go to Phx tomorrow for work. I also have Huffman coming over at some point on Fri to mount tires for his Lotus. I live close by, so I may come out early to get my paddock spot then come back again later to register and tech.

 

So far I'm not planning to make an appearance till Sat... so I'll have to settle for left overs.

 

Nah, we'll fire up the grill Sunday...just for you mp5

 

 

Holy moly, Isley is just annihilating everyone in all classes! Munchof is making a respectable showing in SS, too. Not sure what happened to Carter Thompson and see that Sipe is hitting cones left and right again. Did it rain?

 

Isley wins again and CS Buetzer and Diez beat him...but his Saturday time stood...sandbagging? ; )

Heitkotter proved that the MR2 Turbo can hang...sort of. Looked like another course where lots of folks were hitting cones.

 

it was extremely fast, transitional, and unforgiving

though we did find a problem with the car after Sunday's runs, my driving sucked donkey ***** this weekend regardless

 

Ouch 3 seconds behind isley if your were clean, after all the mudslinging that goes back and forth between you two thats gotta sting a little

At 3 seconds apart what the hell was wrong missing a wheel?

 

easy to say without being there, all you see is a time on a sheet not what occurred between the beginning and end of a run

but Jason did an excellent job on his skinny tires no less

 

Did El Toro take after any SD elements?

We should really get a west coast TeamWTF going, for racing footage and talking-point. I have no doubt that the course was tough. As for Polak, definitely start attending the National events so you get a real sense of true competition.

 

yeah, I suppose that means Polak would be at least another 3 seconds behind me ... :

on raw time I was one of the faster drivers to start, just dirty/spinning out, never could get back to that point again, we were on 285 Kumhos which was a first for me so I was floundering in second thoughts and self guessing, Carter stayed on them and I changed back to 245s on Sunday AM

when I post the pic of the problem you can be the judge of what it would do to the car on a course with heavy transitions

 

I'm registered for the National Event at Devens, MA; and waitlisted for the ProSolo in Washington, DC.

I would try make Finger Lakes but I'll be in Europe during that.

 

It was nice to see everyone and....well, it was nice to see everyone

 

Another speed maintenence, Miata friendly course. CS was right on SS times...

 

Wait, are you saying that the 245s may have worked better than the 285s? Unpossible.

Mark Sipe (whoever that is) could start up a West Coast Team WTF?! all by himself it appears. I mean that in the best possible way!

 

Come up and say hi at Devens (and DC if you make it in). Look for the yellow fake-Porsche.

 

Also, Ryan Buetzer is an alien. He is amazing...Kevin was working hard and flyine to hang with him

BS was kind of interesting. Jason was just awesome, smooth and fast as all heck. Matthew would have been very close, but for the cones....then there was a pretty big gap back to Joe and Carter. My scratch times would have been with the those guys, but I hit tons of cones, red lighted etc., of course, the bottom line is I drove like crxp and just never got to the point where I was sure what line to take or where I really needed to be...kind of reacting to the course more than anticipating where I wanted to go next.

Still, the weekend was good...all except the part when I was sitting in the car with a helmet on.

 

I thought the same.
Was also glad it was the traditional format PS, almost like a continuation of last year's events, except no series points. However, I thought I heard the announcer comment on how they calculated the dial-in for the Challenge rounds, which sounded different - but only half paid attention since we were packing up at that point.

 

Maybe I should've run BS, think I could've fit in that gap pretty nicely.

It took me awhile to get up to speed in the Elise, but I laid down respectable times on Sunday... even though I threw them away by being retarded at the lights. As usual with high-grip, transition heavy courses it took some real ***** to be fast. From my experience, Jason is really good at attacking this type of course.

 

He was actually there at the inception at the 04 DC Pro. Well, on his way back to the hotel looking for the car keys, to be a little more accurate.

 

it was nice seeing you guys there! I meant to talk to some of you more, just never got a chance. I was to busy spinning, red lighting, and overall just getting beat in BSP. you BS guys kick butt!

 

Even worse, I actually had the spare key in my computer bag at the site, but forgot that it was there
